A five-judge Constitution bench headed by chief justice Chandrachud closed this 8 year long dispute between the Delhi government.
It held that the Delhi legislature has control over bureaucrats in administration of services, except in areas outside the legislative powers of the National Capital Territory (NCT).
There are three areas outside the control of Delhi government: public order, police and land.
The Lieutenant Governor, who represents the Centre in Delhi, is bound by the elected government's decision on services.
